basically if it comes in a glass jar i will save it.
and it was starting to get a little out of hand.
so i decided to start putting them to good use....
(remember this?
i used these super fun glass products from decorart
you have to paint...let it sit...and then bake it.
and then cool with the oven door open....
=
and i also used 3 D gloss writers...which is a super fun way to embellish them..
it's totally addicting!
but our craft department in good old pocatello is lacking.
so when i wanted a pretty rainbow of jars and couldn't get the colors i wanted ...
come on..guess what i used?
yup. just some krylon. i did one with primer...one with the dual (which is primer and paint in one) and the rest with just regular krylon.... and guess what? they all are great!
i mean i'm sure if you take your fingernail and try to scrape it...you can...but i have moved them around and wasn't trying to be careful and they are completely unscathed!!!!
I HEART KRYLON!!!
here are some other great tutorials using all different kinds of paint! the general consensus is...every kind of paint works!!!
(this one uses a glue gun AND paint!)

Love these! I really want to try it. I have a stupid question tho - did you paint the outsides only or spray inside as well? Thanks for passing on such a cute idea.
ReplyDeletefor the spray paint i just painted the outside!

Love ur jars :).
ReplyDeleteLove this! I better add jars to the list of things that can't be thrown away at my house! :)
ReplyDeleteOOh! My mom has a whole stash of jars.... I can tell you what they're about to become! ;)
ReplyDeleteLook what you have gone and done. Making is all pack rats as if we are not already. They are beautiful how you used them after. I had to buy the one on my window cell. A large green. So give yourself a pat. You can sell them girl. You would get some buyers. Adorable. You put them in your oven? Really? or just fooling us. I see spray so I am sure your opt to do that way then in a oven. My luck in the oven. They would explode. Boy you sure must have alot of time on your hands to do all those.
